a tidbit of info...
i too have several ancient coins that range from $40-$125...i have a friend at work whose father is a member and well respected coin collector. i asked if he could submit them for grading and he said that for the price to have them individually graded, it wasnt worth it. apparently, when these members send off coins its usually by the boat-load so they get a good price and they are sending off coins in the several hundreds to thousands of dollars so it's worth it for them. if your coins are less than $75 in value, i'd really try to find someone who could send them off with a large shipment to keep the price down. i personally did not bother sending them in for the range i have. hope this helps!
another note, i had a paul revere printed note graded and it cost $80...the value was about $500. it was worth it just for the authentication.
